Jessica is amazing! Easy to talk to and very patient. I have been working with Jessica for about a month now. What impressed me is that she took the time to make sure I had the necessary tools and mindset to deal with my issues before we began talking about them. Jessica has completely blown my expectations away. I am grateful for her expertise.

Jess is incredible. I felt like I was destined to be anxious forever a few months ago but Jess has literally helped me turn it around and I feel so much more confident in my ability to tackle my mental health and specifically my OCD; I didn’t even understand what was happening in my head before my sessions with Jess and it has helped no end. She is friendly, kind and ultimately feels like a friend in the best way for a therapist to be because it makes me comfortable chatting with her

Jessica is a pleasure to speak with. She is an excellent listener and asks interesting and thought provoking questions that let you delve deeper into self discovery. She has a variety of techniques and unique exercises to promote healing and learn positive ways to shift behaviours and thought processes. She is supportive and reliable and very easy to talk with.
